    Time magazine nails the health care debate

    A great piece which really explains the issue, how backward we have become in this area and what the stakes are. They report:

    While every American may be entitled to at least adequate health care, he is not getting it, and will not, until a momentous national debate reaches election-year levels of acrimony and is somehow resolved.

    ... Apart from such standpatters ... and its arch-conservative Republican allies, there is a growing consensus that some national insurance blanket must be thrown over the ailing body of health care.


    Rarely have I seen such excellent reporting in the mainstream press. The fact that this article appeared in its issue dated March 11, 1970 should not diminish our gratitude to Time for its excellent coverage of this problem.
